Helping our elderly community connect
As human beings our need to connect is innate, but sadly, many of us frequently feel alone.
Which is why, Hutt City Council are helping to coordinate and fund the 4th Annual Be Connected Seniors Expo.
The expo focusses on connection opportunities for elderly people. There will be a range of vendors presenting what is available in the community; including, entertainment, community groups, things to do, hobbies and interest groups and access to support.
It’s free entry and includes a low-cost lunch. We hope to see you there!
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.9% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.8% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
